“As a child, I used to play inside my own drawings”
She draws her inspiration from flowers, nature, her surroundings, and her faith. She says that God gives her new ideas and inspiration in her heart. She also feels connected to traditional patterns and cultural forms from Odisha, such as the motifs seen on pottery and handmade work from her region.
What perhaps best typifies Arpita is her heart for others. When asked what she would do if she were invisible for a day, she says she would secretly like to help poor families and children by leaving things they need. She would also like to support people with disabilities.
Her biggest dream is to give back to her mother, build her family a home, and help others wherever possible.
In her work, you sense softness, care, and imagination. With every new drawing, not only her creativity grows, but also the future she is slowly building for herself and her family.
“My dream is to build a house for my family”
